for this^ can i report myself? looks like i am lousiest sucker in achievements.

LOL, I think only mods and admins have a realistic chance of getting that broom. Almost everything is allowed to say here, and the very few things that are not tolerated are mostly posted by spambots. Only members of the staff gets to see that spam because it gets trapped in the mod queue.

I think it's extremely rare that anyone of us members will post something that gets deleted.

It is unbelievable what is accepted sometimes, and I'm not talking about Rants and Raves. I'm not complaining now, it's just an observation I've made recently.

All depends who sees the spam (or bad post) first. There is no mod queue.

Also, you only get the broom from the main pages. Not the forum.

Many forums have a system that monitors the first posts from new members, often the 10 first posts. If there is a link in the posts or in the signature, the posts won't go through and they end up in a mod queue.I've never seen spam from new members/bots here so I thought Psy had implemented that line of defense.

The broom achievement is only for the main pages?! Wtf, I didn't know anything happened on the main page.

Flaming/TrollingFlaming (insulting other users) or trolling (provoking other users into insulting you) is not tolerated anywhere on the board apart from the Rants and Raves forum. Flaming outside of R+R will result in the post(s) being deleted and the members involved being punished accordingly.

I get the impression that at least this rule is for show only, everywhere on the forum. I don't know if it can be violated.

When Massacre is around, everything is violated... Whether it likes it or not.
